In case you have been hiding under a rock, there are GTL lobby problems. But.... all is not lost!
This is what I did to connect to the server:1) Download & run this HOSTS HACK 2) Start GTL & select to the lobby 3) Register a new lobby account (I suggest the same name but with a blank email & password) 4) Log in with your new account & you should see a list of serversWith that fix, there is no need to touch your host file (unless you've already changed it, then you would need to remove the GTL changes you did). If this fix has not worked for you, then please check out this thread for more info/questions: https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=6869.msg119486#msg119486 All members welcome. Time of Day Setting: 14:00 Start: StandingRace OneTrack: Loch Rannoch (Medium Reversed) (download HERE) Practice: ~19:10 (60 mins) Qualifying: 20:10 (10 mins) Race: 20:20 13 laps (~30 mins) Cars allowed: Any GTC-65 including the Ferrari 250GT SWB, Aston Martin DB4, Plymouth, 1310 Mini Cooper S (but excluding the GT40 and Mclaren M1A and Lotus Elan and AC Shelby Cobra and TVR 400 & Corvette 65)After Race one, there will be a very swift server restart & we'll have ourselves a figure of eight race . Race TwoTrack: Raleigh Park (Download HERE) Practice: ~20:50 (10 mins) Qualifying: 21:00 (5 mins) Race: 21:05 40 laps (~15 mins) Cars allowed: Any TC-65 (not including the 1310 Mini Cooper S)Server: UKGTL Classic Cup Password: see aboveNotes:(1) It's best if all drivers can make sure they are connected before the Qualifying session as drivers on track during qualifying will not see cars that join after they are on track until they go back to the garage. (2) Please make sure you are fully aware of the SimRacing.org.uk Rules. (3) Driver lists can be found on the championship standings page(4) This race will be run using the UKGTL Skin Pack 1.8.0.0 which will need to be installed prior to racing; please get it from the downloads page. (5) The current Lobby connection fix can be downloaded HERE & if you're having problems after that, check HERE

Right then, Loch Rannoch won the vote for our end of season fun event . But do people fancy making this a shorter race 25-30mins & then having a 15mins blast in the TC65's at Raleigh Park figure of eight after maybe? Just an idea as it was quite a close vote. Let me know your thoughts? I'm up for what ever you all fancy. p.s. Are you happy with GTC65's here? I suggest doing a few laps before commenting on that

Can I politely suggest, that if you're slow like me & limited for practice time... try the 1310 Mini (I'm not normally a fan either ). While if you finished in the 'top 5' of either GTL season, you drive for Team RVS or your name is Simon/Geoffers... you've not got enough tokens

Is this the same track we raced at before or a new download Medium Reversed - do we drive in opposite direction than before - forgive an elderly 'teenager' "but I is confused" fella's Laurie

GTC-65 is cool, Loch Ranoch would have got my vote if I'd realised there was a vote ... Raleigh 8 is of no interest. I might join for a laugh.

Looks great & good fun drive too.

Raleigh 8 "race" is meant to be a giggle, think demolition derby and release those end of season tensions And watch out for the Prodigy & Team Oldies boys settling a few scores

Fantastic, this will no doubt be hilarious - I'm game for the double header event, always nice to take out that end of season frustration on you lot Should be on tonight about half 9 for some giggles if anyone's about - if it's a short lap can we have a suitable race distance time, I can see this being quite a lot of fun and I'm not sure we'll be spending too much time perfecting lines Tim this is your event isn't it mate - you were the Destroyer last time out!!
